Having been paid today we splurged our hard earned part time student job money on....reduced salt roasted pistachios! I'm so excited, I love these things.

Now, how many should I take to work with me as a snack? Cause....I can eat the whole pound of them I have....right now....but that would be bad, right? So I need GUIDANCE. Help me oh lovely goddesses of 3FC!

(sorry, giddy due to fun grocery shopping trip)

It depends on what your calorie goals for a snack are .

There are about 150 calories in an ounce of pistachios. (50 kernels, give or take)

Well, each one is about 4 calories....soooo, 30 of 'em would be 120 calories. Pretty cheap!

Oh yeah goal for snacks...ummm, the 100 to 150ish range does me well. And thanks for the swift responses

They are a wonderful snack and if you leave them in the shell, it kinda curbs mindless snacking because you're 'working' at getting to them.

I LOVE PISTACHIOS. And not because they're one of the lowest calorie nuts. They just taste awesome. I practically hugged my mom when she surprised me with a giant bag of pistachios all in little single-serving packages.

I know the packages I have have less than 40 in them and are 130 calories each.

I found this article on livestrong that says 25 pistachios is 100 calories. This is great for me because I also have a big bag of pistachios...now I can make my own serving bags!
